Below is the Interactivate activity: Vertical Line Test. In this activity, students are trying to determine whether or not the given dots will create a function. Explore each of the tabs to determine how the applet works and what the goal of the activity is. The following questions are given in the "Learner" section.
1. A graph must pass the vertical line test to be a function. Use this information to figure out how to determine if a set of points is a function or not. Explain your answer.
2. A graph must pass the vertical line test to be a function. Use this information to figure out how to determine if a table (a x column and a y column) of points is a function or not. Explain your answer.
3. When you are playing the game, what dot arrangement stops the graph from being a function? Explain why.
